Minirin injections are used to treat diabetes insipidus resulting from a deficiency in the secretion of antidiuretic hormone. They help reduce the amount of urine produced by the kidneys, preventing dehydration and helping to maintain fluid balance.
They are used to help children who suffer from bedwetting by reducing urine production during the night, allowing them to sleep without discomfort. Minirin stimulates blood clotting in certain bleeding disorders and treats symptoms resulting from kidney failure.
The drug may be prescribed for some conditions that require a boost in vasopressin, based on a doctor recommendation.
